Mar 19, 2010, Ready for Prague Cobble Stones?

Mar 5, 2010, Prague Spring... on the way?
Until this week, we've had snow on the ground since early January. But as the snow melted we found the first signs of spring. This is a classic flower in our Czech Republic - snowdrop (snezenky). It's always the first flower we see popping up through the snow - a well known marker that spring is on its way. Thank goodness!
Of course, as I write these words it has started snowing again! But Prague is beautiful in the snow.

Feb 24, 2010, Things to do in Prague - Towers Anyone?
Give your eyes (and camera) a treat by climbing one of many towers in Prague. You get stunning pictures of Prague and a unique experience in these old monuments. It's usually fairly cheap too.
Prague is considered the city of one hundered spires, so take your pick which to climb. The two on Charles Bridge are certainly worth a look. Our favorite is the Old Town Hall. It offers impressive 360 degree views of the city.
